Snakebite Kit

[BWSmith]

Here is an Envenomation Protocol Kit that I just put together for a good friend. I tried to get pics of the main componants and key features. I was not able to add Epinephrine and H1/H2 Blockers for obvious reasons. But this is a pretty basic kit. Now this is JUST for United States species. i have a whole other protocol book for exotic species. I am still working on a Paramedic pre-Hospital Care booklet (but hot keepers should learn how to pre-treat themselves anyway ).

The most obvious question would be the pen. The advancing edema (swelling) should be marked every 5-20 minutes to help indicate the severity of the envenomation. The ACE Bandage is for applying a Constrictive Bandage in the event of a neurotoxic envenomation.

Special thanks to Eddie for providing the template for Medical History.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, NOT INSTRUCTIONS.

Words cannot describe the warm feeling in my heart B.W. that is just about the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. Hear once again you have made me feal like the indian in the old environmental commercial looking at the river of trash with a big tear in the corner of my eye.

Don't worry about the epi pen, they are standard divemaster gear for marine envenomations

Can't wait to bring you your present, it might even top your wedding present

Thanks B.W.
